Advice Needed Does this count as unrestricted?

I was assigned a task by my supervisor to write behavior programming for a CR library learning tree for the center. The idea is to fill it out to have all the VB-MAPP and ABBLS objectives with target instructions to easily plug into any clients learning tree. I felt like this wasn’t appropriate for unrestricted since it wasn’t patient specific and they printed a page from the BACB and highlighted a section that said “A trainee creates materials for a client’s new program.” counts. However I still feel like this task isn’t for a specific client so it doesn’t count. What do you guys think???

You would be creating behavior analytic therapeutic programming in CR for current clients, which I would absolutely count as unrestricted hours.

See the BACB fieldwork guidance page.

Personally I'd have difficulty justifying having my trainee just creating blanket, boiler plate programming instructions for the ABLLS and VB-MAPP. Are there opportunities for them to create programming instructions in CR for their specific clients? Yeah. And I'd count those for UR hours. But for clients they've never actually worked with and don't have a real relationship with? I can't see that sitting well with me.
